Latest Report on Potential Domantas Sabonis Trade Destination

Of course, the expectation is that the Kings will look to move on from 35-year-old DeMar DeRozan, especially after his comments following their play-in tournament elimination. However, what if the Kings look to move on from Domantas Sabonis instead? Or both?

Sabonis, 29, was sent to Sacramento at the 2022 trade deadline, and immediately helped the franchise break its 16-year playoff drought in the 2022-23 season. However, many believe it is too challenging to build around a player like Sabonis if the Kings are trying to be a legitimate threat in the Western Conference.

With new general manager Scott Perry leading the front office, he could undoubtedly consider moving on from their three-time All-Star big man.

ClutchPoints' Kris Pursiainen recently joined Allen Stiles on Sactown Sports 1140 to talk about a potential Domantas Sabonis trade and the team that he has heard is interested in him.

"It was a Western Conference team that called about Sabonis," Pursiainen said. "Again, I'm sure multiple teams are calling, I just don't what to throw team names out there because that's irresponsible."

If Sabonis hits the trade market, he would undoubtedly garner some attention, but the Kings would likely not get a return worthy enough to give up on their star center. The Kings are unlikely to trade Sabonis this summer, but if teams are calling, it is a good sign that Scott Perry is actively monitoring the market and getting an idea of how much his players are worth.

The Kings desperately need a change, and while it may not be as drastic as trading away Sabonis, it certainly could be for the right return.
